Mmmm…. It seems the problem is not fixed yet. npviewer.bin still crashes, not as often as before though. Going to upgrade to the beta release karmic. See if that helps.

The error I was getting was this:

Sep 23 13:07:14 webmonkey kernel: [675069.159578] npviewer.bin[6502]: segfault at ff99cd48 ip 00000000ff99cd48 sp 00000000ff9f059c error 14

The problem is fixed after upgrading the following packages to updates-proposed:

• libgl1-mesa-glx 7.4-0ubuntu3.3
• libgl1-mesa-dri 7.4-0ubuntu3.3
• libglu1-mesa 7.4-0ubuntu3.3
• mesa-utils 7.4-0ubuntu3.3

There was a problem with some of my links. I thought that after editing URL’s always turned into links automatically. But that’s not the case. I don’t know if it stopped working or it never worked at all…

Anyway it does work now with this plug-in: coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/

It even makes the URL’s a bit prettier by removing the http part. And it also understands links like robas.com.

I’m running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. Everything works fine except one thing:

Adobe Flash! Grrr….

I installed the default flashplugin package but it keeps crashing on a few sites. It’s really annoying. I installed the flashblock plugin and set it to block all flash content for now.

Apart from that plugin everything is smooth. It works like a charm!

I installed eBox on a Shuttle XPC. Now I have a Linux firewall at home. And it has some other stuff like file sharing and OpenVPN.

It was very easy and works quite well.

You can find more about eBox here:

I have been on holiday. Made some photos. Check them out!

Here’s a one:

That's me chillin'

I just updated my phone with some new software. It now includes a facebook app and I can upload a photo right after taking it It also has wayfinder 8 now and sms conversations. Very nice!

Been busy tweeting too. Check out twitter.com/starquake64

Finally a screenshot of my desktop at work:

Nice dual display wallpaper of lily allen!

I changed my default domainname from linuxeverywhere.org to starquake.nl! The old one will stay available. I think i’ll be adding some personal stuff now.

and I like it!!! It’s nice and small but packed with features. The webcam is very good too. And I like the way it resumes from standby in about a second.

I ordered a MacBook with a US keyboard. I don’t live in the US so I have to wait longer for it. It should arrive the 16th of October. And I must say, having to wait that long is getting annoying!

Oh well, it will even be a bigger surprise once it arrives…
